#2 trouble deleting folders

[Anonymous]

Using SM1.2.0rc2 with our Netscape Messenger IMAP
server (version 3.somethingorother)I can't seem to
delete folders properly.

It appears that when I choose a folder for deletion,
squirrelmail selects the folder and mangles the name
by dropping the first character. It then copies the
folder to the trash properly, except for the fact that
it's using the shortened name. It then reports an
error when trying to actually remove the original
(Can't delete currently open mailbox), probably
because it's trying to delete a folder that doesn't
exist.

Now the strange thing...or maybe it's quite sane...I
can delete the incorrectly named folder out of the
trash using the delete-folder routine just fine. I'm
assuming that the extra chop doesn't happen because of
the specially named folder.

Folder creation and renaming works just fine...just
this wierdness. If you need more info, feel free to
contact me.

Same error using SquirrelMail 1.2.3: when I delete a
folder, it moves it in the Trash folder but cuts away the
first character of its name.

Then, trying to delete the moved folder, I get the
following error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded
in /home/httpd/html/squirrelmail/functions/imap_general.php
on line 71

and the folder becomes undeletable.

I'm still having this problem, even under 1.2.4.

Messes up the folder name, and fails the delete. Doing a
manual "folder-move to trash" first, then just emptying
the trash folder seems to work just fine, but I can't use
the "delete folder" routines.

Running Debian/testing with:
Apache - 1.3.22-6
PHP4 - 4.1.1-1
SM 1.2.4-1
Active SM Plugins (from list in conf.pl):
1. squirrel_logger - v1.2
2. username - 1.0
3. timeout_user - v0.2
4. squirrelspell - v1.6(? - the builtin)
5. sent_subfolders - v1.7(? - builtin?)

Any help or direction would be appreciated.

This sounds like it's a fairly Netscape server specific
problem, since I haven't heard of it from anywhere else.

Would you be able to send me your config/config.php file?
It sounds like there might be something tricky happening
with 'Folder Prefix'.

Thanks,
Bron.

I had submitted this before, but it seems it was duplicate
and was removed. ANW, here goes:

Say there's a shared folder, to which I have no permissions
to delete (admin), I just can read and/or append.

If I try to delete this, I get:

ERROR : Could not complete request.
Query:STORE 13:13 +FLAGS (\Deleted)
Reason Given: Permission denied

Which is normal.

*BUT*: In the meantime, Squirrelmail has first copied the
mail from shared folder (or shared folder itself, if I tried
to delete all of it), to my INBOX.Trash folder.

Similar things happen if I try to delete any mail, that
copying it to my Trash makes me overquota. Squirrelmail
cannot copy it first, so fails to delete it altogether.

I *can* workaround this by not using Trash in my Folder
Options, but I *do* want to use trash.

What can be done about this?

Moving to next devel in lieu of upcoming stable branch.
Sorry -- too much code change to justify putting it in 1.2.x
series.

Can this be reproduced in 1.4.0 ?

I forgot I had this bug open.

We upgraded our Netscape 3 mail server over the summer to an Exim/CourierIMAP based one, and the problem went away.

I'm going to guess that it was netscape specific.

Unfortunately, I can't do any further testing, as we promptly tore down the old mailserver to re-use the box for other things.
